Can you help? i am married to a man who is 6-fobt-4. He has several brothers who vary in height from 5-foot-ll to 6-foot-7. Their mother is obsessed by th6 height of her sons.

Whenever stiel refers to them in casual conversation, she never fails to identify them by height as well as by rtame. For example, "Dick, he's the one who is 6-foot-3." Her favorite, of course, is "Rob," the tallest. He is 6-foot-7. Rob thoroughly enjoys being the center oT attention. People are in awe of him because he is so tall.

This jerk wears boots with heels so that he will, appear taller. Recently I ventured to express an opinion that was quite different from the one my mother-in-law held. Her response floored me. She said, "You are just jealous because Mary is 5-foot-ll. Frankly, I wish my son had married her instead of ypu." How do I deal with this woman, Ann? Faithful Reader in the Northwest Dear Faithful: From a distance or great height.

Dear Ann Landers: In the past you have had a great deal to say about abuse of the elderly. What the abuse that the elderly heap on their sons and daughters who are no longer young them-l selves? My mother is 93. She has made home with us since Dad died 13 years ago. The last five years have been a living hell because of her. She has accused my husband and me stealing money from her 'bank account.

She tells the and family members that we beat her. In recent months she has been getting on the telephone hollering for help. Mother used to give us $100 a month for room and board. Now she gives us nothing, although she has more money than she will ever use. (We are struggling to make ends meet.) The woman is cantankerous and constantly stirring up trouble.

She requires a great deal of time and attention. Nothing I cook suits her. I am exhausted all the time. Her health is better than mine. I can't bring myself to put her in a nursing home, but my brother and sisters say if I don't I will have a nervous breakdown-Do you have any thoughts on this subject? An Ohio Woman Dear Ohio: Discuss the problem with your doctor.

He may insist that you be relieved of the burden of caring for an elderly, irrational parent. If this keeps up, your mother could bury you. Dear Ann Landers: My brother and I are in our 50s. We have always been close. I never liked his wife and he knows it.

"Bob" and "Joanne" moved to Fort Lauderdale about a year ago. I phone him every Sunday evening. Bob always answers the phone because he expects my call. Joanne immediately gets on the extension (I can hear her pick it up) and she listens to every word. It makes me furious.

I would never dream of listening in on a conversation between my husband and his sister. How shaU I handle this? Coming to a Boll in Florida Dear Florida: It is up to Bob to tell Joanne that he would prefer that she not do this. If he hasn't the courage, suggest that he call you when he can enjoy some privacy.
